How the spsrrows Came.

The English sparrows' advent here
was very like that of the rabbit which
Australia is so anxious to be rid OF. A
miller caterpillar, indigenous to this
climate, was found to be destroying
the trees in the parks, besides being q
nuisance in consequence OF it's propen-
sity to hang from the trees by web
like thread. Persons passing under the
trees were liable to havo the crawling
creatures drop down their necks OK
upon their clothes, and some remedy
were sought TO rid New York Of these
pests. a. foreigner suggested the inn
portation OF a few sparrows. Seventy
five pairs were brought over from the
Old " orld, but the severe winter which
followed killed the birds. A second
attempt was made, aud every one was
asked to care for the little creatures
and build sparrow houses. This was
done and the sparrows were saved the
next winter. The young broods raised
in the country were soon able to take
care of themselves 1t did not take
long for the accli1nated foreigners ard

they are found ali over the United

Tan Bark as Fuel.

Tan bark as fuel is frequently men"

in tanning and exhausted Of its tan

little flame, and yields an abundance
Of ash, and has heating capacity
which has been given at from 1000 to

times used under steam boilers, and

consumption has been 264 pounds per
horse power per hour. It is worked

TO BRING. ABCU1, ORDER

Chief Secretary Balfour mus5 be a
a1mpleton if he imag1nes that the means
his Govern ment has taken to restore or
der in ireland will be effective. He is
credited with saying thai the present
policy Of the Government in ireland
will bring about the triumph of or
der" The order he means is, says the
Irish World, 8 condition of things un~
der which British rule shall either be
accepted and ebeyed by the masses of
the Irish people Or submitted to with
out protest or resistance. 1t is difficult
il not impossible to believe that any
man, even a rabid, Irish-hating Tory,
could seriously entertain such an idea.
Balfour has seen in his own lifetime
dozens of Coercion Acts brutally en-
forced in ireland, and he knows that
within the present century upwards of
eighty Coercion Acts have been passed
IN the British Parliament and put into
operation in Ireland by. mon quite as
desirous as he is to crush Irish nation
ality ont of existence. and quite as saw
age and unscrupulous as 10 Che methods
eaployed to carry this purpose INTO
effect. Half dozen years ago the in
famous Forster filled the jails of Ire
land with the leaders and active workers
in the national movement, expecting no
doubt that, like Balfour, such system
OF government would produce the
triumph Of ORDER from the Dublin
Castle point Of view. But the ''order''
has not come yet. After 81 years OF
Balfourian methods it has not only not
peen brought forth but it is as far from
realization as ever. Balfour will soon
discover, if he does not already know,
that there is only one way Of establish
ing -'order" in Ireland under British
rule, and that is to slaughter or drive
out OF the country every man and
woman and child Of the Celtic race.
So long as Celt remains in ireland
there will be no peace there for
British rule or British rulers.

a Long Street-Car Line.

The longest street-car line in the
world is now in process Of construe-
ton in the Argentine Republic. 1t is
30 much longer than any other line
that it quite dwarfs the eight aud ten
mile roads Of our cities. 1t is also the
only street-car line in the world which
uses sleeping-osrs. The road has two
hundred miles of track, connecting a
number Of towns in the vicinity Of
Buenos Ayres Horses are used there
as motive power instead of steam. be-
cause fuel is dear, horses cheap, and
the people are slow. Two tons Of coal
will buy q horse and harness. Tbs

tirely furnished by Philadelphia car
company. The sleeping-cars are 4

eighteen feet in length, and are fur
nished with four berths each, which
are made to roll up when net in use.
The oars are furnished with lavatories,
water-coolers, linen presses and other
conveniences. and are finished through
out with mahogany. The other cars
are four double-decked open cars.

The Startling Changes Wrought EvVithln
/ / . the Last Half Century.
The advancement in the modes and
rapidly Of travelling has been very
great. We are told that w lint throp, an
early Governor Of Massachusetts, hay-
ing lived two years in Boston, wanted
to visit Plymouth, Of the same State,
about fifty miles distant. After two
days, we are told, he reached
Plymouth, ..having been conveyed
over the fords of streams on the
shoulders of Indians . Toward the
close Of the eighteenth century it was
regarded as remarkable journey If
the traveller went from Edinburgh,
Scotland, to London, England, in three
days and three nights. 1t was said
that several persons, who had been so
rash as to attempt it, had actually died
from the rapidity of the motion.
In 1847 it took months to go from
New England to Oregon. Now the
trip can be made III sixdays, In 1850,
the stage that was to carry the mail
from Philadelphia to Boston was ex-
pected to make the trip in six days,
leaving Philadelphia on Monday morn
ing and arriving at Boston on Satur-
day night
Said distinguished editor Of Wash
ington city in 1881: 'tBut for our part
we have no desire ever to be carried
by any mode of conveyance more rap
idly than at the rate of thirteen miles
the hour" THIS editor was as incred-
ulous as to the rspidity with which
people could go fro1n place to place as
Voltaire, who said of Sir Isaac New
ton: .:What DO you think Sir Isaac
Newton says? Why he actually predicts
that the time will come when people
will travel at the rate of forty miles an
hour! Just see into what absurdities
the studies Of the Bible drive a great
and gifted mind.'' Very few even
among the iar-seeing entertained the
thoughts of Sir Isaac Newton. Many
thought, with Voltaire, that such
thoughts concerning travel were 1snci-
full. Even those who assembled near
Honesdale. Pa, to see the first loco
motive that turned wheel on a rail-
road track, had no conception Of the
part that steam was to play in the cons
vsyance of passengers and freight.
Fifty years ago two steam vessels ar
rived at New York the same day. hav-
ing made the voyage in fourteen days.
Now they make the voyage in hall
tho tinae, and many vessels are re-
CURED TO meet the wants Of the travel
ing puolic, and large numbers are
coming and going from one country
to another. The conveniences in
travelling, both by rail and by water,
are SO many that the traveller can go
around the world and not experience
the discomforts and hardships encoun-
tered by few miles of travel in other

POPI; LEO'S J1JJIRILil3'El!:.

The enlarged issue ct THE IEIsH
STANDARD is published ia honor Of
Pope Leo kits golde1e Jubilee. On
our first page will be found g sketch CT
the life OF His Holiness. 1t is taken
almost entirely from a late issue Of the
Chicago Herald, and will be of more
than ordinary interest from the fact
that the career of the Sovereign Pom
tiff is Laid forth in the NghC in which a
public journalist sees it.
To devout Catholics Pope Leo is
Sruly a loving father. Beloved by
Catholics and admired hY nom Catholics
he is today the grandest figure in the
world.
The great progress made by the
Catholic Church since Pope Leo was
alecte;i to fll ST. Peters chair affords
striking evidence Of his great mental
Dowers, Hardly had he assumed the
reins OF Office, than there seemed,.to be
a tightening of the burden that at

MR., g1,ADsToNE's OPINION.

When such nen as the Right Hon.
William e. Gladstone come out boldly
and say that the solution of the Irish
question is near at hand, Che people of
ireland have certainly no reason to feel
discouraged. Mr.. Gladstone's expert
ence IN the political arena commands
regard for any statement he may make
with regard to the prospects OF an early
settlement OF the NEST perplexlng
problem that has ever demanded the
undivided attention Of British parlia-
mentarians and statesmen.
The prospects for Ireland for 1888
ars not by any means as dark as what
they were for 1887. Another coercion
bill has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. It might be said
that the Coercion Bill of 1887 has doue
nothing more than fulfil the mission ri
,ts predecessors. 1t might not be un-
interesting to ,enumerate the coercion
